Chapter 139 Everyone Improves Again.
Due to the relationship between the two martial souls, Xiao Fei immediately felt the changes in Shui Binger's martial soul. It was obvious that Shui Binger's control over the ice attribute had become stronger.
As the seven of them emerged from the Mysterious Ice Cave, the Ice God appeared in the air. "You're quite good! It seems you've found the opportunities you sought within the Mysterious Ice Cave."
"Next is your practical assessment. This time, you'll enter the Ice Prison and obtain spirit rings for two months."
"Excuse me, senior, what is the Ice Prison?"
"The Ice Prison is a prison I created a hundred thousand years ago to hold some of the spirit beasts that destroyed the Far North. The six of you will fight together there and obtain the corresponding spirit rings. I must point out that the spirit beasts I've imprisoned are extremely powerful and ferocious. If you're still alive, please be extremely careful."
The Ice God glanced at Xiao Fei. "As for you, the Ice Prison is no longer suitable for you, and I can no longer offer you any opportunities. There's a Mysterious Ice Cliff at the top of the Ice God Palace, which might be of some use to you."
Everyone was speechless. Spirit beasts imprisoned over a hundred thousand years ago must have been a hundred thousand years old. They were likely at least a hundred thousand year old, and they were as powerful and ferocious as the Ice God described them. It was probably a forbidding place.
The seven people then split up. Xiao Fei headed for the Black Ice Cliff alone, while Shui Bing'er and the other six followed the instructions and headed towards the so-called Ice Prison.
When Xiao Fei arrived at the Black Ice Cliff, he felt something strange. The Black Ice Cliff was at the highest point of the Ice God Palace, but surprisingly, it was not covered in ice. From the cliff, he could see the entire Ice God Palace. The Ice God Palace resembled a giant ice phoenix, hovering in the heart of the Far North, but something felt off.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that although it lay beneath the ice, it was not in contact with it at all. It seemed as if some force separated the Ice God Palace from the ice. This feeling was a bit like when he first entered the Slaughter City.
Could it be that the entire Ice God Palace wasn't located on Douluo Star, but existed in the void? Then how could they have entered the Ice God Palace? This thought filled Xiao Fei with fear. If that were the case, then the power of the gods was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.
Xiao Fei sat quietly at the very edge of Xuanbing Cliff, sensing the shifting world and the allure of the massive Ice Phoenix atop the Ice God Palace.
"Could this Ice Phoenix in the Ice God Palace be real? But its size is terrifying, reaching tens of thousands of meters in length." Even with his spirit form activated, Xiao Fei's Fire Phoenix spirit was only a few hundred meters long, and that was with his 100,000-year-old seventh spirit ring and a level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
If the Ice God Palace was this vast, then the Fire God Temple, the legacy of the Fire God, should be no smaller. But where exactly was it hidden?
That day, when Xiao Fei and Shui Bing'er were practicing their spirit fusion technique: Ice and Fire Phoenix, Xiao Fei briefly reached the divine realm. At that moment, he felt a pull from the void, but he couldn't pinpoint its source.
However, the Ice God hadn't asked me to come here for no reason. I must have missed something.
What was it? Xiao Fei was perplexed. He even fell into a deep sense of doubt. He practiced and pondered.
These days, Xiao Fei often thinks about his past life. The things he envied most in his past life were not luxury cars and beautiful women, not wealth and glory, nor the admiration of thousands of people, but doing some simple and comfortable work like a farmer, working from sunrise to sunset, having a virtuous wife at home, embracing his wife and children, and living a simple and peaceful life.
I've always felt like my mindset wasn't right since arriving in Douluo Continent, lacking the courage to face challenges. I always avoid unbeatable opponents. Recalling Tang San in the original novel, he faced desperate situations countless times, yet always seemed to forge ahead. Even when he encountered Bibi Dong in the Star Dou Great Forest, he bravely attacked, fearless of life and death.
As time passed, Xiao Fei's feelings deepened, and he began to consider his past and present lives from a different perspective. Suddenly, Xiao Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes sharpening. "I almost got caught. Is this what it means to experience the seven emotions and six desires? It's quite interesting indeed!"
"But no matter what desire it is, I will persevere and ultimately achieve my goal. Even if there's no way out, I'll fight my way through."
The Ice God suddenly appeared beside Xiao Fei: "You're quite good, truly quite good. While this isn't the test of the seven emotions and six desires, it's clear that your mind is already very close to that of a god. I wish you swift success."
From this day forward, Xiao Fei's mental power reached the realm of Great Consummation, or god-level. Compared to the realms of Poseidon and Tang San in the original novel, this was a higher level. After all, neither of them had truly attained godhood, and Poseidon could only be considered a demigod.
"Senior Bingshen, is there really a Fire God Temple in this world? Is the Ice God Palace really in the Far North?"
"As expected, you've also noticed. Whether there's a Fire God Temple or an Ice God Palace, remember what you just said you realized: move forward courageously."
Xiao Fei continued to ponder, gazing at the rising sun, his expression suddenly darkening. Could the Fire God Temple really be in that place? I hope not.
Two months passed quickly, and Shui Bing'er and the other seven returned from the Ice Prison. Each of them had wounds of varying sizes, the most severe so deep that the bone was visible. Niu Meng's hand was even broken, but thankfully it had been reattached, so he should be able to recover soon.
After several people explained, the Ice Prison wasn't located within the Ice God Palace itself, but rather within a vast fault beneath it. Within, various spirit beasts were imprisoned within the fault, which was blanketed in the Ice God's divine power, rendering it like a vast prison, hence the name Ice Prison.
Many of the creatures within the prison were over a hundred thousand years old, many of them truly ferocious, making the journey a perilous one for the six. Fortunately, however, all four had obtained their ideal spirit rings, all hundred thousand year old.
Shui Bing'er's spirit power reached level 92, Feng Xiaotian also reached level 92, Niu Meng reached an astonishing level 84, and Yang Pojun reached level 82. Xiao Fei couldn't help but wonder: do foodies always have good luck?
Shui Bing'er had the best luck, having hunted a hundred thousand year old ice-attributed spirit beast, the Ancient Ice Luan, and obtained a torso spirit bone. Feng Xiaotian's was a hundred thousand year old Ice Demon Wolf, and he also obtained a right leg spirit bone. Niu Meng's was a hundred thousand year old Ice Demon Bear, and he also obtained a hundred thousand year old right leg spirit bone. Yang Pojun's was the most difficult and dangerous. His soul ring was a 100,000-year-old Abyssal Demonic Dragon, and he obtained a 100,000-year-old left leg soul bone.
Next, the Ice God only had to test Shui Bing'er, and the test content was simple and crude: soul power reached level 99, all soul bones, obtain the artifact Ice Blade, and gain recognition from the Ice God Palace.
Of course, there were several forbidden areas within the Ice God Palace where Shui Bing'er could practice.
